In a letter to the Federal Aviation Administration, JetBlue requested "prompt approval" for eight arrival authorizations at O'Hare, a congested airport with restrictions on arrival slots, starting in November.

JetBlue said in the letter that it has 44% of all Kennedy departures and 24% of the airport's domestic departures. The airline also said that "whenever JetBlue enters a new market and introduces low fares to the traveling public, the competition matches fares and increases capacity."
